avergae combi boiler

lotteblade

hi looking at replaceing my boiler to a combi. boiler is staying in same place - pipe is already 22mm. how much roughly should it be? whats everyone else paid? whats the average price?

MoneyMate

Additional info required, house size, number of rads etc. :beer:

lotteblade

sorry 3 bed averaged size semi!
7 rads in house!! (4 new - others be replaced next year)

lotteblade

had quote for 1800 for a vokera boiler (5 yrs warrantee) is this good?

MoneyMate

Have a free quote from a Worcester Bosch approved engineer, if things have not changed either 7 or 10 years cover .

How many bathrooms have you got? If you've got more than one I'd stick with a cylinder and boiler.

Vokera price too cheap given work involved converting to a combi. Corners will be cut to meet price. Make sure the quote includes cleaning and flushing the system and , inhibitor chemicals to protect the system and a system filter. Otherwise when your boiler breaks down the manufacturer will not honour the guarantee.

What rating of combi are you planning to fit?
What controls: TRV's, digital programmer?

Just the 1 bathroom.... Had pipe work updated already to 22mm yes includes the flush & removal of all old pipes / water tanks etc

Not sure of rating it will have a digital wirless programmer if that's what you mean, will have the TRV's on the rads 4 of which are brand new will be replacing upstairs ones next year.

By 'rating' I mean what output in kW? Price rises along with rated output.

That's way too cheap, I would avoid that boiler.
Stick with either valiant or Worcester Bosch.
but with one of these your looking at about £2500 to have all the pipework mods etc.
